I am totally lost on the auto bed leveling configuration in Marlin. I got the probe installed now and I have found some YT video going through the Auto Bed Leveling section but it does only describe it for a cartesian printer.
How do I set :
// these are the offsets to the probe relative to the extruder tip (Hotend - Probe)

define X_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER -1.0

define Y_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER 21.0

define Z_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER -6.7

What else do I have to set. What can be left alone ?

This probe looks really cool but the documentation is simply just non-existent.

Will this work with Repetier firmware? I really love this idea and will get my Hall sensor in a day or two to try to make one myself. But I use Repetier. Where can I find more information about setting up this type of z-probe in firmware? Thank you so much! Your design is the most elegant!

I didn't like the idea of cutting a hardened sewing needle as it wasn't going to give me a clean flat end (likely to just shatter). Instead, I used a 10p 3.5" finish nail that is much easier to cut and I cleaned up the cut using a Dremel tool with a grinding wheel. I did have to drill out the plastic a bit to get it to slide smoothly (if you can find a thinner 3.5" finish nail, go for it). I left the head on the nail so I can put a washer on the probe end to make it easier for an inclined fixture to pull the probe down for deployment. Sometimes being able to run to the local hardware store is a lot more immediate gratification than waiting 3 weeks for something shipping from China

I think you have to manually deploy it by pulling the rod down. I'm working on a derivative that will work with a Rostock MAX and magnets/metal rods you can get in the US easily, and it seems to me that unless you make it "sticky" it's liable to deploy in the middle of a print.
